Damn! I thought that this message was something I'd written while I was
sleeping or something. I'm in the same boat as you, on all counts. Wicked
deja-vu...
I JUST finished the e-book about 20 minutes ago, and I was thinking of a
project that I'd like to put together...a Fusebox case study manual. A
collection of people who have developed projects using the Fusebox
methodology, and accounts of how they accomplished the task.
Ever read The Soul of a New Machine? Excellent book about how a team at
Data General in the 70's built a new 32-bit minicomputer in only a year. I
was thinking that a book sort of like that, but with multiple, condensed
case studies of these projects would be an invaluable tool for beginner and
intermediate CF Fusebox developers everywhere.
Anyone have any feelings on this matter? Is this something that might be
useful to any of you as Fusebox developers? Should I waste my time? I've
never written a book before, but have often thought of doing so. There
should be plenty of material for me to draw on, so I think it's feasible.
Comments and suggestions would be much appreciated.
